Sustainable Returns

Investing in companies with high earnings sustainability may offer defensiveness in market downturns while also seeking to capture returns.

Investing in less volatile stocks may lower a portfolio’s risk profile and reduce participation in market downturns.

Integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria may help reduce risks and improve long-term returns.

Targeting these factors could result in achievable, modest, repeatable returns over time.

Cost-effective portfolio management with low turnover and managed liquidity aims to minimise the effect of adverse economic conditions across market cycles.
